. >> one of the things that this administration did early on, and the obama administrations continued a lot of the national security policies in the bush administration, to be clear. but they did establish this high value interrogation target group where we've got high value interrogation subjects, and they have a team that they keep very secret and under wraps that they sort of fly in to do, conduct the most important interrogations. and we have been told that they will be leading the interrogation of the boston suspect. how will that team approach interrogating this young man? >> i think they will do it like any fbi agent or any law enforcement individual will do it. these individuals are trained to collect intelligence from detainees. but also on the same time now we have a suspect who already was read his miranda rights. he already have a lawyer present. and i don't think that should affect any trained interrogator, any trained interviewer in doing their job. we have been doing this for many, many years. we did it against terrorist suspects, organized crimes, people who are charge

become the centerpiece for obama's strategy. they are a setting up liaison offices around the world. we know everything about the bin laden raid. we know everything about the dog and guns used. there were 20,000 raids like that that year in afghanistan and other countries that we know almost nothing about. i think our future is going to be looking at cruise missile strikes, covert operations, raids that we probably won't know about an drone strikes are one part of it but i think we make a mistake in focusing too much on drones because this is a full spectrum war that's being waged by the obama administration. >> jeremy scahill, thank you so much. the book is "dirty wars." the film are be out june 7th. >> with a cameo by you guys. >> there you go. >> i can't wait for the royalty check. >> we had to pay nbc for the rights though. >> really! you did, did you? >> yes, we did. willie promised me something but it never came about. >> i talk offline. >>. >>> still ahead, google's executive chairman eric schmidt will be here on the set.

a policy decision the obama administration has made. he was a american citizen and naturalized last september and now a federal law, the national defense authorization act of 2012 that says american citizens cannot be tried in military commission. so it's not -- this debate is not a question about where he should be tried. the republicans who say he should be treated differently, their claim is that while they understand the civilian trial will go forward, they think he should be treated for now as an enemy combatant and questioned without any question about his rights, without any issue about whether information he gives would be used in his trial, and then turn back over to civilian authorities. but, clearly, the justice department will have none of that. that's not how it's going to go. >> he's in a boston hospital under heavy guard and serious condition including a gunshot wound to the throat but he is responding to some questions to a team the federal investigators in writing. any indication as to what he is saying or maybe perhaps

it's exploded under the obama administration over four straight years. it's a 3.5 trillion dollar budget. please! don't tell me that we can't afford to keep enough air traffic controllers in the towers. >> are we really talking about this? >> yeah, we are. washington doesn't work. you're exactly right. like steve rattner said yesterday. the entire system is dated. >> here we go again. these buffoons vote down background checks and this huge story and back to talking about the sequester? are you kidding me? i'm sorry. but this is incredible. totally nonproductive, insanely boring! >> this is what happens when congress and the president -- i'm going to put it on chronic right now because the president did talk about social security and then he got attacked. this is what happens when 70% of the budget is basically not ever talked about. when you can't talk about entitlements and the past, you haven't been able to talk about defense. so, mike, they go to 12% of the budget and hack it up. i've been talking about it for two years that we can invest in discreti
